Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a plurality of cylinders and transmission arranged adjoining the engine. If designating an average height of a combustion chamber in a region inside from a virtual cylindrical surface passing through center of a valve body of an intake valve and extending in a circumferential direction of each cylinder when a piston is at top dead center, as “center height”, and designating average of a height of the combustion chamber in a region outside from the virtual cylindrical surface when the piston is at top dead center, as “peripheral height”, the combustion chambers form a center height of a transmission side cylinder positioned most to the transmission side among the plurality of cylinders is higher than center heights of usual cylinders including one cylinder other than the transmission side cylinder and a peripheral height at the transmission side cylinder lower than peripheral heights of usual cylinders.

Abstract: A control system of a Miller cycle engine includes an ECU. The ECU executes an early closing Miller cycle operating mode in which a variable valve mechanism is controlled to close an intake valve before an intake bottom dead center. The ECU executes a decompression mode in which the variable valve mechanism is controlled to close the intake valve at a point later than the intake BDC, when the engine is started. The electronic control unit executes the early closing Miller cycle operating mode after completion of the decompression mode. A later closing amount of the intake valve relative to the intake BDC, for use in the decompression mode, is larger than an early closing amount of the intake valve relative to the intake BDC when the closing timing of the intake valve is most advanced.

Abstract: In a turbine housing of a twin entry type turbocharger, a first scroll chamber communicating with a first exhaust manifold, and a second scroll chamber communicating with a second exhaust manifold are provided. A surface area of the first exhaust manifold is configured to be larger than a surface area of the second exhaust manifold, and these exhaust manifolds are cooled by a cooling mechanism. In the turbine housing, a first and second cooling water passages are respectively provided to cover the first and second scroll chambers. An internal combustion engine includes a cooling device that causes cooling water to flow into the first and second cooling water passages, and the cooling device is configured so that a temperature of the cooling water that is introduced into the second cooling water passage becomes lower than a temperature of cooling water that is introduced into the first cooling water passage.

Abstract: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is configured to: open a waste gate valve if switching operation modes from supercharged lean burn operation to stoichiometric burn operation and if it is necessary to decrease an air amount; control an exhaust variable valve train so that, during a response delay period accompanying the waste gate valve being opened, a first valve opening period EX1 and a second valve opening period EX2 are set and the second valve opening period overlaps with a valve opening period IN; control a fuel injection valve so as to inject fuel of an amount necessary to realize the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio under a stoichiometric requested air amount during the response delay period; and control the second valve opening period EX2 of the exhaust valve so that, during the response delay period, the air amount comes close to the requested air amount.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation device capable of restraining generation of condensate water in an EGR path after engine stoppage is provided. When ignition is switched from ON to OFF, fuel injection is prohibited. As a result, a gas (fresh air) that flows into a cylinder after the switching is discharged into an exhaust passage without burning. In the present invention, a valve opening timing of an exhaust valve is changed so that a high peak portion of a pulsation of the gas arises at an EGR branch point, and the EGR valve is opened. Thereby, the fresh air flowing in the exhaust passage can be introduced into an EGR passage, and therefore an EGR gas in the EGR passage can be replaced with the fresh air.
